This first one, the Hunger Games’ Mockingjay uses 40 equations and the student worked on it for over 3 hours. Here’s some of the artwork I received back. Explore math with our beautiful, free online graphing calculator. Graph functions, plot points, visualize algebraic equations, add sliders, animate graphs, and more. I gave them two class periods to work on their art, and told them they can complete it at home and save it to the google folder they have shared with me. Explore math with our beautiful, free online graphing calculator. Learn how to create a drawing with equations and restrictions using the DESMOS software. The students absolutely loved this activity I was hearing comments like “Desmos is the best app I ever”, and “oh, now I see how that works”. Very soon the kids wanted to know how to create and manipulate parabolas, circles, sine waves, etc. So I showed the students how to restrict the domain and range, and my only requirement of the art is that they include at least one instance of a restricted domain/range. Graph functions, plot points, visualize algebraic equations, add sliders, animate graphs, and more. My main objective here was for students to get a deeper understanding of linear equations, and specifically more experience with restricting the domain and/or range of a linear equation. Two Reflection screens for after the project was finished. Example screens that taught them how to restrict and color their graphs (and more) for them to examine and play with. Graph functions, plot points, visualize algebraic equations, add sliders, animate graphs, and more. A link to Learn Desmos so they can use more advanced equations. Graph functions, plot points, visualize algebraic equations, add sliders, animate graphs, and more. Explore math with our beautiful, free online graphing calculator. After doing a short lesson to show off the power and “what-if” capabilities of desmos, I pretty much let them loose on creating equation-driven art. Explore math with our beautiful, free online graphing calculator. Last week I introduced my students to Desmos.
